- Organic growth delivers record results - Sales grew 19.1% and net profit expanded 24.6% - Gross margin improved for the tenth consecutive year in the first half from 36.6% to 37.1% - MILWAUKEE continued strong growth momentum with an outstanding 29.8% sales increase - RYOBI ONE+ sustained double-digit sales growth - Floor Care and Appliances business delivered double digit sales growth of 12.9%
TTI's largest business segment, the Power Equipment business sustained double-digit growth for the first half with US$3.0 billion in global sales, representing a 20.1% increase when compared with the same period in 2017. This strong growth was fueled by the commitment to cordless technology through the flow of new product introductions, expanding new product categories like cordless lawn mowers, building customer partnerships, adding new distribution channels, geographic expansion, and focused end-user conversions. MILWAUKEE has remained at the forefront of the cordless revolution, delivering outstanding 29.8% growth in the first half, while the Consumer Power Tool and the Outdoor Product businesses both grew by double digits primarily from the expansion of the RYOBI ONE+ and 40V cordless platforms. The early phase of our strategic direction of the Floor Care and Appliances segment is slowly and encouragingly gaining traction with sales growing 12.9%.
Mr. Joseph Galli, CEO of TTI, commented, "Looking into the second half and beyond, it is clear that the momentum is increasing at an exciting rate throughout TTI. We are thriving as we ambitiously continue executing our laser-focused strategy that created the platform for our industry-leading growth. TTI is leading the world's rapid transition to cordless, displacing old technologies, entering new categories, and expanding our served industries. Our vision for a cordless future is vast."
Mr. Horst Pudwill, Chairman of TTI, said, "We are highly encouraged by our growth trajectory. We expect our cordless business to continue being the key driver and to grow at unprecedented levels because of our leading edge technology. Our long term vision at TTI is to build an unassailable competitive advantage through cordless product leadership, outstanding organizational development, and superior operational excellence. We are highly confident our business will continue to outperform in the coming years."
